available in 1970; 2 of the 3 in Commo are

E. The Office of Scientific Intelligence
asked to join the CO-on Program and
work plans for its students have been
developed.
F. We have undertaken to give assistance in
finding housing for all Co-ops and interns
coming to Washington. Each one is sent a
booklet about apartments in the area and
told we can make reservations for him at
McLean Gardens if they are wanted.
G. Each Cooperative Education Coordinator has
been furnished with a hard cover binder
embossed with the Agency seal and containing
copies of all the brochures we have on the
Agency as a whole and on the Co-op Program
specifically.
H. The Agency's Co-op Coordinator attended 4
conferences involving activities of the
Cooperative Education Association. He was
also made a member of the Association's
Government Activities Committee.
I. We have for the first time undertaken to move
some Co-ops between offices. This has been
in cases where the first assignment has
turned out not fully to interest the student,
often because he has changed his major. We
have made 4 such transfers successfully.
J. The NPIC Career Service Board has prepared a
long range planning paper on their use of Co-op
students. it plans an ultimate strength of
some 100 Co-ops with one third of them
graduating each year and will, hopefully, take
care of about half of their technical professional
attrition.
K. Tab A presents a comparison of Co-op and Intern
strengths between 1 July 1968 and 30 June 1969.

FY 70 and 71 Plans and Objectives
A. Tab B projects Co-op strengths through
June 1971. The Summer intern Program has
leveled out at 18 for DUI Area Studies,
15 for NPIC, and 8 for IAS/DDI.
.The most difficult type of Co-op to recruit
has been the Photo Interpreter. We will
give extra effort to this next year,
concentrating on schools that co-op
Foresters, Civil Engineers and Biologists.
C. Some new schools will be brought into the
Program, especially if they will help with the
Photo Interpreter problem.
D. OSI will come into the Program with a require-
ment at this point for about 8 Co-ops,
E. Spring 1970 will bring our first sizeable
number of graduating Co-ops, some 19. We
have to start hiring Co-ops for replacement
as well as for expanding the Program.
